Investment Priorities

Immunotherapy

Scientists and clinicians are realizing the solution to better survival rates will be a combination of traditional techniques with novel treatments. One of the most exciting developments in the last few years in the field of cancer is immunotherapy.

Investment Priorities

Head and Neck Cancer

Head and neck cancer can be ruthless, with a survival rate of barely 50 per cent. While surviving this type of cancer can clearly be defined as success, it is often just the beginning of a long and painful journey for these patients.

Investment Priorities

Patient Financial Assistance Program

Because of investments in the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Patient Financial Assistance Program, hundreds of Albertan families are able to focus on healing rather than making ends meet when faced with a cancer diagnosis.

Investment Priorities

Lung Cancer Screening

This year alone, nearly 2000 Albertans are expected to be diagnosed with lung cancer. Sadly, 1700 will die. We are impatient for progress. We know there is a need for new and effective treatment options. Together, we can make a difference by investing in Lung Cancer.

Investment Priorities
